Leaves of many evergreen angiosperm species turn red under high light during winter due to the production of anthocyanin pigments, while leaves of other species remain green. There is currently no explanation for why some evergreen species exhibit winter reddening while others do not. Conditions associated with low leaf water potentials (Psi) have been shown to induce reddening in many plant sp...

BACKGROUND Boreal cropping systems are heavily focused on the production of small-grain cereals; to improve their resilience to climate change and to achieve food and feed security, diversification is needed. This study investigated the potential of faba bean, narrow-leafed lupin and lentil as protein crops in southern Finland, where faba bean is traditional but the other two are novel. RESUL...

Parsley is a medicinal plant used widely in urolithiasis. The present study aimed to evaluate the antiurolithiatic effect of parsley and its mechanism. 24 rats divided into four groups: group A (negative control), group B (positive control), group C (cystone® group) and group D (parsley group). Group B were treated with EG and Ammonium chloride (AC). Group C were treated as B plus cystone® and ...

We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA for a histone H2A from parsley (Petroselinum crispum). A library of parsley cDNA in lambda gtll was probed with a cloned fragment originally generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA amplified by PCR was a cDNA preparation made using the downstream PCR oligo primer with a total RNA preparation from parsley cell culture. The PCR upstream primer (a ...
